Anchor Me (song)

"Anchor Me" is a 1994 single by New Zealand rock band The Mutton Birds.

[1] "Anchor Me" is a love song, written by the Mutton Birds' lead singer Don McGlashan about his wife.

[4] In 2005, a charity supergroup of New Zealand artists recorded the song to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the bombing of the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior.

Songwriter Don McGlashan agreed for "Anchor Me" to be used, but chose not to be involved in the recording, as he felt doing so would put the emphasis on him, rather than the bombing commemoration.

A group of young New Zealand artists was quickly gathered to record the song, which was eventually released on 4 July 2005.
